Description

Beamline for Schools (BL4S) is a physics competition open to high school students from around the world. Participants are invited to prepare a proposal for an experiment to be conducted at the beamline of a particle accelerator, either at CERN (European laboratory for particle physics in Geneva, Switzerland) or DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany). In 2024, we celebrate 10 fantastic years of BL4S, marking its 10th anniversary, as well as the 5th anniversary of the successful CERN-DESY collaboration for BL4S. 

The celebration ceremony will take place in a hybrid format on-site at CERN and DESY and online. On-site participants at CERN and DESY will have the opportunity to visit the BL4S experimental areas after the ceremony and to join the celebration reception. 

Location at DESY: DESY II Test Beam Hall B (building 27)
Location at CERN: 222/R-001; East Area (building 157); R1
